likewise. The time was when it was
almost impossible to procure an indict-
ment against rascally official in the
larger cities, much,less to secure con-
viction. The rings so strongly fortified
themselves that the law was absolutely
powerlesS to prevail against them. But
that is all changed now. An honest and
determined public sentiment has been
aroused in vindication of the law, and
the scoundrels whose business it was to
hold public Office that they might be-
come the more effective Instruments in
robbing the public have been brought
to Judgment. The swift and unerring
justice which has been melted out
to the New York and Chicago boodlers
will have the effect of breaking up the
pernieious ring system which had grown
up in connection with the governments
of so many of our American cities. Men
who formerly sought municipal offices
for Doodle only will do so no more. They
have learned that it is not safe thing
to do. They realize that under the
new order of things the sins of the
boodler are sure to find him out. There
is no longer temptation to go into the
tiary is the inevitable wind up of the
boodler'S career. Hereafter the men
who seek to fill the offices in our mu-
nicipal governme hts will be those who
have confidence in their own honesty as
well as possessing the confidence of
the public.

SUPPRESS WHEAT GAMBLING.

Now that Chicago is in the flush of a
reform fever and is doing excellent
work i'll the way of convicting the
Doodle gang, why should not the city
authorities take whack at the Chicago
board of trade. If Mayor ROCHE is de-
termined to make record for his adj
mlnlstration by cleaning out the
gambling dens, why should he be so dis
eliminating as to close all the other
gambling houses and leave the board of
trade with its bucket shop annexes in
full blast. The mayors authority may
not extend far enough to permit him to
lay hands on the Chicago board of trade.
and, if not, more the pity. This gigan
tic gaming mill is more demoralizing
to the morals of the city than
all the other gambling concerns COM
bined. Now, that public sentiment in
Chicago is aroused to the necessity for
reform in all departments, there should
be a -yigorouS movement inaugurated at
once to secure legislation that will sun
press gambling in the board of trade.
Not only Chicago, but the whole West
is interested in this matter, for the evil
that is done by the spirit of gambling
which prevails in the Chicago board of
trade is felt by the entire wheat growing
section of the United States.

It seems that the British government
has hit upon very satisfactory plan to
rid itself of undesirable subjects. 1t
officials to submit list of the persons
within their notice who are unable to
earn living. These unfortunates are
then furnished with Storage passage
to this country and draft of $40 each,
payable in New York.
In this way the British hope to rid
themselves of all but those who can add
to the wealth and prosperity of the ma
ton, and to shift the burden of the sup
port of the helpless entirely upon this
country. 1t is needless to say that this
scheme should meet with the most de-
cided Encouragement from this govern
ment. The English ministry should be
given to understand in unmistakable
terms that, while America is glad
enough to furnish an asylum for the OPP
pressed who are willing and able to
work for themselves, she does not care
to go into the aims house business on a
wholesale scale. America is glad
enough to furnish opportunities for
those who in other lands are unable to
live comfortably, to build up new COM
ers and new homes within her borders,
but she expects them to come with
reasonable capital in brain or Drawn
to take advantage of them. The En-
glish government should not be allowed
to send another assisted immigrant to
our shores.

Forged Pictures of Celebrated
Artists Sold as Origin als---News

Forged Pictures of Celebrated
Artists Sold as Origin als---News
and Notes.
A number of forged paintings. saws
the New York World, have come to
light of late. Men who have large gal
leries of valuable pictures have been
set to wondering what proportion of
their prizes are really what they pre-
tend to be. 1t is the easiest thing in
the world to reproduce a duplicate
of a painting little known, and
sign the name of Corot or Diaz or Yer
bOeckhoven to it. And that is Just what
the collectors are complaining of, and
just what is being practiced here in
America more and more. The latest
case was shown up the other day in Art
Amateur. A wealthy gentleman, T. j.
Briggs, bought a painting by Van
Marcke, in Paris four years ago, from
Goupil u Co. The picture is an unim-
portant panel, only 9x12 inches, but it
cost "a ,000. 1t is hardly the sort of thing
that any painter would make replica
OF, because there is nothing striking in it.
In the recent exhibition of the Halsted
collection, in Chickering hall, Nh. Briggs
noticed the exact.duplicate of his Van
Marcke-the same size and coloring, and
painted on panel-everything iden-
teal. Mr.. Briggs wrote at once to Mr..
Halsted, telling him that there must be
a forgery somewhere, as Van Marcke
would hardly go to the trouble of dupli-
eating so unimpOrtant work. Mr..
HalSted replied that his picture had
also come from Goupil & CO., or Knoed-
Ter d Co., of New York, the home
branch of the same house. Knoed-
Ter IL Co. were spoken to on the
subject, and they said that if the second
Van Marcke were forgery they We're
the losers, for they paid 5000 francs for
it. 1t was not probable that so import
ant a house would be deceived. Mean
while photograph of Mr. Briggs pic
ture was sent to Theodore Child in
Paris, who showed it to Van Marcke
himself. Mr.. Child replied that he had
shown the photo of the picture to Van
Marke, who recognized it as his work.
The original, he says, is a small panel,
though he does not remember the exact
size. Van Marcke considers the
replica must be forgery, for
he has no recollection of hay
ing copied this picture. The
second Van Mareke, the disputed one,
has been sold to an out of town Gus
toner. 1t should be recovered and Ia
ken back to Paris, where Van Marcke
himself would be given an opportunity
to pronounce upon its genuinenesS.
The average buyer of pictures knows
little or nothing about the quality of
wares he purchases. If the dealer tells
him that the picture is a genuine
Troyon he buys it ON that guarantee.
though the work may be really copy
of Smith and Jones. This forging of
pictures is getting to be regular bust
ness. Of course the large and widely
known pictures are not duplicated. be-
cause the forgery would be too easily
discovered, but the minor works suffer.
